General motors and Ford probably
wouldn't exist today without tariffs. But those weren't Trump's tariffs so they are good. Amirite?

Qone0,
Tariffs are a tax on consumers. No matter who puts it on.
Yes, but Bonefish is justifying bad policy with whataboutisms.

"But but whatabout that tariff from 1969 on light trucks?"

"But but whatabout that Chinese EV tariff?"

Are they really beneficial to the American economy? Do they really "level the playing field," as the MAGA cultists claim without any elaboration whatsoever?

Or do they just bring them up because they think two wrongs make a right?
